The NorthStar is ready to hibernate

So far, we have always taken care of winterizing our campers before any damage by freezing. We might have pushed the limits this year—twice. Both times we camped in low 20 degree weather. Everything was fine, mainly because we ran one of those small heaters with all the cabinet doors open. But, we decided not to test it any further.

So, today we drained the lines. We still need to put compressed air into the system. That gets out the last of the water. Not a big deal to take care of, but we tend to put if off. Maybe just don’t want to give in to winter.

We have camped after winterizing. We just have to carry water. It is simple to pour RV antifreeze into holding tanks. In fact, we are thinking of a little Christmas roadtrip. We’ll see, things can be very busy this time of year.
